Valuing Magellan Financial stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Magellan Financial's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Magellan Financial's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 9x. In other words, Magellan Financial shares trade at around 9x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Magellan Financial's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $282.2 million (£146 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Magellan Financial's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 77.55% of net profits
Recently Magellan Financial has paid out, on average, around 77.55% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.9% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Magellan Financial shareholders could enjoy a 5.9% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Magellan Financial's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.65 per share.
Magellan Financial's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 19 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Magellan Financial's shares were split on a 1.0924:1 basis on 10 April 2007. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 1.0924 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Magellan Financial shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 8.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Magellan Financial shares which in turn could have impacted Magellan Financial's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Magellan Financial's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.8708 up to $10.4. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Magellan Financial's is 1.032. This would suggest that Magellan Financial's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
